in 2005 i'm sad to say a republican led congress passed a highway bill that kennedy more than 6,300 earmarks including the famous bridge to nowhere. john boehner was one of only eight members that voted against that bill. he is now our speaker and those days are over. instead of more earmarks or new taxes, our bill will remove barriers to job growth by expanding american energy production which will help lower gas prices and using the revenue to repair and improve roads and bridges. repairing roads and bridges is not just a safety issue, it is an economic one. pennsylvania has more structurally deficient bridges than any other state and a half million people in the are out of work. that is why our bill removes barriers to job growth and reforms the process by ending needless delays, empowering states and communities and ensuring resources go to projects that have a direct connection to our economy. this is another good idea that will help put americans back to work and it, too, is built on common ground. president supports improving infrastructure and recently echoed our party's call for an
